CULTURAL

ICEBERG
IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CULTURAL
ICEBERG MODEL, SURFACE
CULTURE IN THE USA INCLUDES
OBSERVABLE ELEMENTS LIKE
CUSTOMS, CLOTHING, LANGUAGE,
AND VISIBLE TRADITIONS SUCH AS
THANKSGIVING OR FOURTH OF
JULY CELEBRATIONS. DEEP
CULTURE, ON THE OTHER HAND,
COMPRISES LESS APPARENT
ASPECTS LIKE VALUES, BELIEFS,
SOCIAL NORMS, AND IMPLICIT
CULTURAL ASSUMPTIONS.
 UNDERSTANDING
AMERICAN DEEP CULTURE
INVOLVES EXPLORING
CONCEPTS LIKE
INDIVIDUALISM, THE
AMERICAN DREAM, AND THE
DIVERSE TAPESTRY OF
IDENTITIES WITHIN THE
NATION. NAVIGATING BOTH
SURFACE AND DEEP
CULTURE PROVIDES A
MORE COMPREHENSIVE
VIEW OF THE USA'S RICH
AND COMPLEX CULTURAL
LANDSCAPE.
 In England, surface culture manifests through
visible aspects like the English language,
traditional customs such as tea-drinking and
events like the Changing of the Guard. Deep
culture, however, involves less observable
elements such as the stiff upper lip mentality, the
importance of manners, and historical influences
like the monarchy. English cultural values,
including a sense of humor, respect for tradition,
and a strong attachment to sports like football,
contribute to the deeper layers of the cultural
iceberg. Exploring both surface and deep culture
provides a nuanced understanding of England's
cultural identity.
 IN KAZAKHSTAN, SURFACE CULTURE IS EVIDENT IN THE DIVERSE ETHNIC TRADITIONS,
LANGUAGES, AND CUSTOMS, SUCH AS THE CELEBRATION OF NAURYZ MEYRAMI AND TRADITIONAL
NOMADIC PRACTICES. DEEP CULTURE INVOLVES LESS VISIBLE ELEMENTS, INCLUDING THE
IMPORTANCE OF HOSPITALITY, THE INFLUENCE OF NOMADIC HISTORY, AND THE COEXISTENCE OF
VARIOUS ETHNIC GROUPS. UNDERSTANDING KAZAKHSTAN'S DEEP CULTURE REQUIRES
EXPLORING VALUES LIKE UNITY, FAMILIAL BONDS, AND RESPECT FOR NATURE. BOTH SURFACE
AND DEEP CULTURAL ASPECTS CONTRIBUTE TO THE RICH TAPESTRY OF KAZAKHSTAN'S IDENTITY.
 SURFACE CULTURE IN TURKEY INCLUDES VISIBLE ELEMENTS LIKE ITS
DIVERSE CUISINE, TRADITIONAL MUSIC, VIBRANT FESTIVALS, AND
ARCHITECTURAL WONDERS SUCH AS THE HAGIA SOPHIA AND THE BLUE
MOSQUE. DEEPER CULTURAL ASPECTS INVOLVE THE INFLUENCE OF
HISTORICAL EVENTS LIKE THE BYZANTINE AND OTTOMAN PERIODS, SHAPING
VALUES SUCH AS COLLECTIVE IDENTITY, RESPECT FOR ELDERS, AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY.
 THE DEEP CULTURE OF TURKEY
ALSO ENCOMPASSES THE CONCEPT
OF "HÜZÜN," A NUANCED BLEND OF
MELANCHOLY AND NOSTALGIA
EMBEDDED IN LITERATURE AND
MUSIC. THE TURKISH LANGUAGE,
RICH IN HISTORICAL AND
CULTURAL REFERENCES, SERVES
AS A KEY ASPECT OF DEEP
CULTURE. UNDERSTANDING
TURKEY'S CULTURAL INTRICACIES
REQUIRES EXPLORING ITS UNIQUE
BLEND OF EAST AND WEST,
SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS
INFLUENCES, AND THE ENDURING
SPIRIT OF HOSPITALITY KNOWN AS
"MISAFIRPERVERLIK."
